A Guide By Metal Dracky

Published on April 26th 2026

Welcome to my guide to collecting the Pokemon Metal Collection, a series of small diecast metal figures (and coins) made by Japanese company Kyodo and officially released by Nintendo in Gachapon capsule machines between the years 1997-2016. All Gen I Pokemon were made, but every subsequent generation got fewer figures.

I spent years researching and collecting these, and I believe I have the first complete documented collection. The purpose of this website is to provide a comprehensive list of all the different sets, figures and coins, including photos and other helpful info.

There’s a lot of missing information online when it comes to the metal collection. I do want to shout out this Japanese blog by Kouka and this forum post on efour which were especially helpful with providing info and photos. Hopefully my guide can help fill in the gaps.

So… after years of hunting these down, I’ve concluded that the Pokemon Metal Collection includes exactly 410 unique figures (each released in multiple paint finishes) and 50 coins/medals.

First, here’s a video and some photos of my complete figure collection (I don’t have the coins on display yet, but will add photos when I do).
The last photo is the Mario 64 Metal Collection, also produced by Kyodo and very similar in style to the Pokemon figures. That set only has 12 figures.

The Sets

Note – for this part of the guide I’ll be using a combination of my own photos (I took a photo of every gacha pamphlet I had) and other photos I found online. I did initially intend to take out of my display case the figures of every individual set, line them up nicely and snap a photo, but unfortunately I don’t have the time.

Early Sets (Gen I-II) 1997-2001

Metal collection sets 1-7 came in many different colors. Since there is no official list of colors, it is unclear exactly how many were produced.
The metallic finishes are gold, bronze, copper, gunmetal and silver, but other colors I’ve seen so far are light blue, dark blue, light purple, dark purple, light green, dark green, red, pink, orange and magenta. I’m not sure if every set or figure was available in every color, or if specific colors were considered rarer.
There were also a few special matte colors – matte light blue, matte yellow and matte pink, but those seem to be limited to Pikachu from sets 4-5 and a few other Pokemon from set 2.
Sets 8-10 and the Anime set were only released in the metallic colors.

The many paint colors of the early Metal Collection sets.

As you can tell from my collection photos, I’m personally not a fan of the non-metallic paint finishes. They tend to peel off very easily and don’t age well. The colors I like are (in order of favorite to least favorite): Copper, bronze, gunmetal, silver, gold. The darker colors accentuate the details of the Pokemon and look a lot better to me.

One more thing to note – sets 1-10 had the characters 任天堂 (Nintendo) and C.G.T.S.J (which stands for Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK, TV Tokyo, Sho-Pro, JR Kikaku) imprinted onto the figures.

Anyway, on to the lists!
I’ll be listing the names of the Pokemon both in English and in Japanese.

Note: I believe the pamphlet for set 9 has a misprint. It lists Chikorita as one the Pokemon, but says there are only 12 figures in the set. If Chikorita was in this set, there would be 13 Pokemon. Also, I have NEVER seen a Chikorita come out of a set 9 box. There are only two Chikorita figures – the one from set 8 and the much later DP9 version.

Later Sets (Gen III – VII) 2004-2016

Advanced Generation, Diamond & Pearl, Best Wishes, X&Y, XY&Z, Sun & Moon.

There are some notable differences between the early sets and later sets:

Compared to the original sets, the figures are a little smaller (but overall look better and are more detailed).
They don’t have text imprinted on them.
These sets were only available in the metallic paint finishes – gold, silver, copper, bronze and gunmetal. From DP8, they stopped making the gunmetal finish and only released them in gold, silver, copper and bronze.
From set DP8, octagonal coins with a Pokemon molded into them were included in every set.
Far fewer figures were made in every set compared to the earlier sets.
Unfortunately, most figures in these sets won’t stand upright which makes them more difficult to display.

Telling apart different versions of the same Pokemon

By far the most difficult part of putting together a full collection (well, other than actually obtaining these figures) was figuring out how many versions of the same Pokemon were made, and more importantly: learning to distinguish between them.

Some differences are obvious (for example, Totodile has standing and sitting versions) but others are much more subtle. Take Torchic for example – his two versions look nearly identical, which seriously threw me off when I was collecting these.

Sure, when you see both versions side by side there may be an obvious size difference (take Cleffa for example). But when you’re looking at individual listings of these figures, you can’t really tell how big they are.

I put together the following images to hopefully help other fellow collectors spot these differences so they don’t get as confused as I did.

First of all, the Pokemon with a whopping 25 different versions: Pikachu.
A lot of his poses are distinct, but there are some that are very similar to each other. If you want to find them all like I did, pay special attention to the position of his head, legs, arms, tail and ears in every model.

And now for the rest of them. Try to ignore size differences (you won’t be able to tell this when seeing them individually) and pay close attention to other subtle differences. Position of limbs, facial expressions etc.

Rarity

I’m not going to get into the actual value of these figures, as that changes constantly. What I can tell you though is which sets are rarer and harder to track down, at least based on my own experience.

The early original sets (MC 1-7) are relatively easy to find, though there are a few figures that are more sought after. MC 8-10 as well as the Anime figures are significantly rarer (especially set 10), and Poliwrath from MC9 is (for some reason) very rare and sought after – by far the rarest gen I Pokemon.

But the rarest sets are actually the AG (Advanced Generation) ones. AG4 and 6 are especially sought after and difficult to find (and were the last sets I needed to complete my collection).

The BW (Best Wishes) series is a little more prevalent, though there are quite a few Pokemon in there that are nearly impossible to track down. (Cryogonal? The only one I’ve ever seen for sale is the one I bought).

From XY and onwards it gets a little easier, but many of those figures are still rarer than the early OG sets.

It’s kind of interesting that the later sets are rarer than the first ones (you’d expect it to be the other way round?) but I guess they simply produced a lot more of the early ones.

Other products that are often mislabeled as the Metal Collection

While searching for these figures online, you will inevitably come across listings of products that are similar to the metal collection, but are actually an entirely different product. These products are often mislabeled as the Kyodo metal collection:

1999 Banpresto GD Series / Gacha King:
Small metal figures that are similar in size to the metal collection but have plastic parts glued to them. Often, the plastic part will be missing which can lead you to believe that they’re part of the metal collection, but these are actually made by Banpresto. I believe that only two sets were released:

Amada metal Keshimon:
These metal figures are tiny (around half the size of the metal collection figures) and were sold in rubber Pokeballs. Only around 40-50 Gen I figures were released (in silver and gold) and a very small number of Gen II figures in other colors such as pink, green and blue. You will often see some of these sprinkled into metal collection lots which can lead to some confusion.

Pewter monopoly tokens:
These are pretty cool and just slightly smaller than the Metal Collection figures.

Plastic metallic figures:
These are plastic figures with a metallic finish that I often see mislabeled as the metal collection:

Brass figures / unknown origin:
These brass Pokemon figures are new, I’ve only seen them pop up recently and I’m not sure where they originate from. They’re actually pretty cool but I don’t believe they’re official products. Japanese sellers will often mislabel these as メタルコレクション（metal collection) figures:

Anyway, that’s all for now – I hope you found this guide helpful!
I might add more photos and info down the line if I realize I forgot something. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at rean8166@gmail.com

Happy collecting,
